Tick life cycle
There are three stages in the life cycle of a tick. Larva, nymph, and finally, adult. During the nymph stage, ticks most frequently transmit Lyme disease and are usually most active in late spring and early summer in regions where the climate is mild. During the adult stage, Lyme disease transmission is less common due to the fact that it is less possible adult ticks to bite humans and because they tend to be larger in size and therefore can be easily seen and removed.
